Five people were arrested, and three police officers are recovering from minor injuries, in connection with a large disturbance at Eddy Street Commons.

It was around 10 o’clock on Saturday night a fight broke out. As officers tried to break it up, investigators say 22-year-old Bryan Gillespie, Jr., went around two of the offices and punched another male in the face.

Gillespie then ran from the officers and resisted. As officers tried to take him into custody, two females attempted to intervene.

Gillespie was ultimately detained and arrested on preliminary charges of Resisting Law Enforcement and Disorderly Conduct.

The females, 18-year-old Brianna Gillespie and 24-year-old Mya Velez, were arrested on preliminary charges of Resisting Law Enforcement and Disorderly Conduct. Brianna Gillespie was also arrested for Counterfeit Government Issued Identification.

While officers were trying to disperse the crowds, one male, later identified as 21-year-old Sergio Rivera, disregarded their requests to leave and was arrested on several preliminary charges, including Resisting Law Enforcement and Disorderly Conduct.

While officers were still on-scene, continuing to help disperse the crowds, officers observed three males brandishing firearms and running away from police behind a business in Eddy Street Commons.

Officers made contact with the males near a vehicle and one male drove away from officers but was quickly stopped at Eddy and Napoleon Streets due to other police vehicles blocking the intersection.

Three firearms, one of which was stolen, were recovered from the vehicle, along with suspected marijuana.

As a result, 19-year-old Ayden Willocks was arrested on several preliminary charges, including Resisting Law Enforcement and Criminal Recklessness.

All five arrested individuals were transported to the St. Joseph County Jail, where they await formal charging decisions from the St. Joseph County Prosecutor’s Office.
